and you have a great band with a really shitiy name. Don't remember how I came across them but usually I wouldn't even try to listen to a band with that kind of name / cover art._________________my tradelist

But being anno vulgaris 2012, pretty much every single-word that is remotely ominous,evil, etc sounding has been used. There are 88,109 bands on Metal Archives - I think all the good single-word plain english names will have been used by now.

Well, there are still plenty of great bands in more recent times with excellent single-word names using slightly more obscure terminology... such as Ignivomous, Antediluvian, Mitochondrion. And some names that you'd think would have been taken AGES ago were still up for grabs until snatched up by truly high-caliber bands, like Villains or Communion for instance._________________Analog Worship label & distro (click for link)

Where we're from, the birds sing a pretty song, and there's always music in the air.

I think this "name" thing was important when there was no internet and you had 2 major criteria for buying a tape: band name + cover art.

This is more a consumer point of view, but now it really doesn't matter what their name is, you check out a quick sample or download and if it's good, they could be called Sons of Jesus Christ In Night Gowns for all I care.

Sometimes the most simple and unnoticeable names turn out to be the most amazing bands for me. I ignored Circle (Fin) for many years just because of the name. Stupid, I know, but that's how it goes, because I'm used to the "old ways".
